Well it turns out the 1650 I bought for $100 has a K321 in it. I noticed it was shaking pretty bad and discovered that the PO only had two engine mounts bolts in it. Last night I pulled the engine, one bolt was busted off in the pan but I was able to remove with an easy out. I pulled the head and spent most of the evening warming up parts in the oven and de-carbing with Easy Off. I will need to tap new thread int he carb body. The PO used a sheet metal screw to mount the air celaner box because he was too lazy to do the job right. The hydro lift lever is still immovable, the piston in the cylinder is really in there tight. Gotta give the PB blaster one more try and them maybe some love taps with a small hammer to free it up. The frame had at one time been painter red, but htis is definately a wide frame and not a spread frame. That's kind of a mystery. Updates to come.
